He suddenly turned around, and then his clear and bright voice came from above her head.
“If I address you as ‘sister’ from here on, will you accept it?”
She was first stunned and then confused before eventually raising her gaze to see him looking back with immense tenderness in his eyes. His voice was incomparably soft when he spoke. “Shishi, do you know why I like being with you?”
“Uh…”
“It’s because you’ve always given me a very warm and cosy feeling. I don’t have a home and have no more family, but you always give me such a kind feeling, so I somehow can find a bit of warmth in this cold and heartless world.” He paused before continuing. “From the start, I’ve had this childish wish of becoming your kin in our next lives, but let’s not wait for our next lives, alright? Are you willing to accept me as your brother if I’m to call you as my sister?”
“Why not?” There was not a moment of hesitation in the woman’s reply.
“I’m afraid…” the man added. “Don’t you already have a biological brother? Isn’t he that demon king by the name of Gong Jie?”
The demon king…
Yun Shishi’s eyes twitched hard, and she could not help recalling Gong Jie’s eyes looking warmly at her whenever they were together. Forgive her for the lack of imagination, but it was hard to associate such an adorable brother with that title of a demon king.
“I’m willing to be your sister.”
Hua Jin wondered if he was dreaming.
Today had brought him many pleasant surprises, which made everything a bit too much for him to digest; he thought that he must be dreaming!
He probed further. “Are you truly willing?”
“Yes!”
He hooked his lips into a shy smile, lowered his eyes, and wrinkled his brows slightly as he thought for a long time. Finally, he whispered, “S-Sister!”
“Eh!”
Upon seeing her responding to him, he could no longer bother to be reserved. A brilliant smile spread across his face and he reassured her solemnly. “Sister, don’t worry; I’ll be very obedient and never cause you trouble.”
Yun Shishi declared boldly, “I’m not afraid of trouble; I’ll take care of it for you.”
“You’re this good to me?”
“Uh-huh!”
She snorted and then told him after a pause, “Now, be a good boy and turn your back to me so that I can apply the medication on you!”
Hua Jin eagerly followed her request by obediently turning around. Once his back was facing her, his countenance gave off an even more gorgeous glow, which he could not conceal.
He finally had a family!
In his heart, he made a solemn promise. This woman, who had become his most important kin on Earth, would be guarded by him with his life at all cost!
…
After taking care of his wounds, the actress stayed a while more to chat with the young man. When she looked at the time and saw that it was late, she decided to leave.
The man also did not try to make her stay and sent her to the door.
“Do you want me to walk you downstairs?”
“That’s not necessary. My car is parked downstairs.”
He nodded. “Alright, then. Be safe on the road and call me when you reach home.”
“Okay!”
After saying that, she put on her shoes, waved to him, and left.
The moment she walked away, his face could no longer hide the tremendous joy and happiness he was holding inside him. Ignoring the fact that the door was still open, he did a victory gesture and would have done a spontaneous jive on the spot if his will had not been steady enough.
Just when he was still basking in his glorious euphoria, the woman reappeared at the door. She suddenly remembered that she had left her handbag in the living room and returned to retrieve it. Just as she pushed open the door, she was stunned to see him dancing with a smug look.
The corners of her eyes could not help but twitch fiercely. “What are you doing?”
What the hell is going on?
“I—”
